What a disgrace. This afternoon, ABC just voted to approve a proposal that would displace tenants at Myron Manor (75 East 8th Avenue) to make way for a hotel catering to tech nomads. Hundreds of local residents spoke at Council and sent letters urging them NOT to approve this proposal. We need affordable homes, not more hotels.
This morning, an ABC councillor speaking on a separate proposal remarked that, "governing is about listening and adapting" - and that people should not feel as though "their home is not their home."
We hoped a majority of councillors would apply this same sentiment to the tenants at Myron Manor.
It ain't over til it's over. That's why we need a Council that fights for regular working people.
